Mack Skipped a Grade!

Mack went for another independent consultation with Meredith at Canine PhD last Saturday, and we worked outside.  A large group of people passed by to go to a nearby art gallery, and Mack did an incredible job handling all the new experiences.  We also got to see several new dogs.  Meredith thought me and him were ready to start the outdoor class on the 27th so we skipped a level!

This week we have been working on getting Mack adjusted to his new snoot loop.  He is also halfway there on learning "roll over."  All the way over!  AND he is still doing his bat training.  He is learning quickly and loving it.  He gets excited everytime we get in the car to go to the training facility.

I have better pictures of the weekend to come, but here is Mack in his head collar playing with a new toy.  We get him use to it by having him wear it while doing fun and novel new things so that he associates it with having a good time.
